The stoner/doom bassists thread...

So we did something different last night. A friend of mine is the athletic director for a college in town and they had their annual awards ceremony last night. Instead of having a DJ, he asked Monobrow to play. It was pretty interesting, basically we had to play between speeches or as people were accepting their awards, taking photos etc. We mixed it up some monobrow material with some covers, lots of funkadelic, clutch, meters, Zappa, kyuss and the like. We weren't sure how some 20 year old kids were going to respond, but it went really well. Apparently they loved the idea of a live band instead of the usual DJ setup. We even got asked to come back next year.
Overall it was a great learning experience, and it was quite fun.
Time to prepare for the record release show tonight.

That sounds quite awesome!
Did you play the covers fully or did you segue from one bit into another?
... and that way you could fit a ton of covers into a small space of time.
That makes sense.
Killer interview with Dixie Dave Collins for those who haven't seen it.

New Indian album is making the rounds.
And it's sick. It's got me more excited than any other release in recent memory.

Damn that sucks. I didn't like the last album as much but the ritual fires of abandonment is a classic. And I never got to see them live
Chicago folk:
Buried At Sea is supporting Orange Goblin at the Double Door, June 11th.
Damn... I need to find some doom-oriented road trip buddies. Chicago is only a 4 hour drive (when traffic near the city is good), but I hate going down there by myself.
Are there any other Michiganders who are up for carpooling to shows like this once in awhile?
Right here man. I'm in GR. What sucks is they have so many good shows during the week. Can't do week days.
Orange Goblin/BaS is a saturday.
I'm going to try to make my way out there by train, but, as usual, it all depends on finances.
